Do you own a motorized recreational boat? Join us on the 7th June 2018, during the VALLETTA PAGEANT OF THE SEAS, as the “PALJU De VALETTE” makes its great entrance into the Grand Harbour amid much fun, pomp and circumstance.
All interested boat owners are invited to adorn their boats in the most festive way imaginable and accompany the leading boat into the Grand Harbour, as it docks at the old Custom House. Onboard the leading boat, In Guardia re-enactors will bring ashore the PALJU DE VALETTE to be awarded during the 2nd edition of the Valletta 2018 Regatta.
The use of flags and noise creation is highly encouraged during the mass spectacular entry into one of the most impressive, breathtaking harbours in the world, on the occasion of the second edition of VALLETTA PAGEANT OF THE SEAS, a major Valletta 2018 Foundation event.
Once the PALJU DE VALETTE lands, all participating boats will be welcome to watch, from a designated area, the many exhilarating water shows planned for the rest of the afternoon and evening, including another appearance by LA FURA DELS BAUS in a brand new show designed for our own Grand Harbour.
